word press tutorials - categories

Word Press has the ability to sort diary entries in to different categories, which can be useful for going through archives of large diaries.

1. While in post or edit mode, there's a large number of boxes/items on the right hand side, one of them is Categories. If there's a + next to it, click on it to expand the box. If there's a - next to it, it's already expanded.
2. To create a new category while you're in the middle of a post, simply type your category name in the box provided and click the ADD button.
3. To choose a category for you post that has already been created, simply put a tick in the box next to your category of choice. You may choose more than one.
